?As Toz got closer to the battle, he realized that he had been ridiculously wrong. He sensed the powerful auras of two or three individuals on the same level as, or even stronger, than Anaster. So, before he could even get into the heat of battle, Toz decided that he had to dump the mana storm at the outskirts of the battlefield. He was a little worried about what would happen with Mindle, but he couldn't convince her to leave the tornado, so there wasn't much he could do except make sure that she would be alright.
Eventually, when Toz was in range and began being noticed by the backline of the Tribe of Death, he decided it was time to sever the connection with the storm. Since they were already facing the mana storm, the Tribe of Death quickly noticed the individual running in front of it and seemingly leading it straight to them.
However, when compared to the mana storm, Toz's existence was a trifling matter, at least until he came close enough to the Tribe of Death's troops that he could touch them. When Toz broke through their ranks, carrying four people on his shoulder and unleashing magic all around him, the Tribe of Death got a little more concerned about him. But only temporarily. The approaching mana storm quickly took priority as it began tearing away at them.
Unfortunately, only death awaited them in the opposite direction of the mana storm.
The battle between the gigantified death knight and the Flesh Golem and Kahglia was fierce enough to blast the ones who got too close to smithereens. So, the few remaining troops of the Tribe of Death, those who had luckily survived the Alliance's maneuver and the Death Knight absorbing and stealing the demonic energy of his subordinates, were ground to dust inside the tornado. A few lucky ones managed to escape to the sides before the storm dragged them into the vortex.
After blasting his way through the few lines of Tribe of Death troops, Toz came in front of the battle between the three gigantic humanoid figures he had seen from afar. All three of them seemed to be at least as strong as Anaster. And when they fought together and against each other, they unleashed shockwaves that tore through the ground and made the air tremble. No one could get close and interfere in the battle, with one exception.
Toz looked at the battle and decided to push through it while lending the human giantess some help. It didn't look like she would lose, but it also didn't look like she had an easy time fighting against the giant great sword-wielding Death Knight and the monstrous Flesh Golem with seemingly unfair regenerative powers.
Since she was clearly fighting on the side of the Alliance of Kingdoms, helping her would mean that he was contributing to the Obsidian Empire's victory over the Tribe of Death in the proxy war. And since the mana storm was no longer chasing him, Toz had enough time and leeway to cast a Fireball powerful enough to affect the Flesh Golem and the Death Knight.
The battle between the three giants was so fierce that the ground shattered beneath them. But as Toz's Fireball continued gathering power, the three eventually noticed the incoming threat and reacted. Since, unlike the mana storm, the Fireball would actually hurt.
However, Toz stood on the Tribe of Death's side. So, Kahglia thought it was another one of the Tribe of Death's combatants joining the fight. And the Death Knight and Flesh Golem thought that it was the lich who had pulled out a magic item or something to help them finish the fight faster.
That was why Toz's Fireball flew through the air and toward the fight, with Kahglia being the only one actively trying to avoid it.
When it finally noticed that it was a human casting the Fireball, the lich hurried to intervene and kill Toz. But the mana storm had started interfering with any and all magic, but especially magic that wasn't of the fire attribute. So, the lich's efforts were easily ignored with the help of Toz's void magic.
The Fireball went unhindered and flew through the air at an easily dodgeable speed. But Toz noticed the Death Knight's and Flesh Golem's attitudes, so he took the liberty of concentrating on firepower instead of speed.
The Fireball's lack of speed let Kahglia catch a glimpse of its trajectory, as well as of Toz on the other side of the battlefield, and she subconsciously let out a grin. She didn't know who Toz was or what was going on, but she could tell that her opponents had been played. Refusing to let the opportunity slip past her, Kahglia redoubled her efforts and dove toward the Knight and the Golem.
The two, slightly unprepared for her sudden burst forward, got caught off guard. And, due to their lacking cooperation, suffered the fate of being smashed together when Kahglia grabbed their arms and tugged them together so that their shoulders collided.
The Death Knight and Flesh Golem hurried to separate before Kahglia could unleash a flurry of fists that she had made the two wary about. However, unlike what they expected, Kahliga hurriedly stepped back and put distance between herself and the servants of Death.
That was when the two remembered the Fireball and that they were right in its path. Their memory was quickly reinforced by the Fireball itself as it collided with the Flesh Golem. Flames burst outward in an explosion of searing heat. The fire even spread to the Death Knight, who tried to get rid of it by covering itself in a misty layer of dark fog that seeped out of its black armor.
After some time, the Death Knight finally managed to shed the flames burning its armor by expanding incredible amounts of black fog. However, the Flesh Golem wasn't as successful or capable. It didn't have any armor or mist that could help defend against the flames and was forced to endure with nothing but its body.
With the power Toz packed into the Fireball, the Flesh Golem was in for an excruciating round of suffering. Well, it would have been if it could feel pain. It was just panicking since it could feel the flames eat away at its flesh and demonic energy.
